    Vampyr is an ambitious attempt at boring the player into submission.

    Gameplay: 2
    Graphics: 5
    Audio: 3
    Fun Factor: 2

    It's worth purchasing in the bargain bin.

    Vampyr is a hard game to criticise. It is ambitious and inventive. It oozes charm and builds a fascinating world. However, it is also very flawed. The rpg elements are decent, but nowhere near as good as the best RPGs. The combat is souls-like, but nowhere near as good as Souls. The story is decent, but the protagonist is full and interesting, not to mention that so much of it is toldVampyr is a hard game to criticise. It is ambitious and inventive.

    It's hard to pinpoint a failing in vampyr but very easy to feel underwhelmed and under satisfied.

    I really wanted to enjoy this game but far too often it is impossible to do so. I think it is worth giving it a go, bit I don't think it will be remembered fondly.    … Expand

    Horrible port for Nintendo Switch. Bad graphics, bad textures, frame drops, one of the worst nintendo switch ports.

    If you’re looking for a game on the go that’ll last you a few dozen hours (if you’re the completionist type), Vampyr delivers that. But that also means spending a few dozen hours with a game that’s not particularly interesting, and I don’t know why you’d want to bother with that.

    The port appears to be faithful to the original 2018 game, so if you enjoyed your time with that, London is yours to explore on the go. But I would be hesitant to recommend this game to most people, especially to those who expect a Life Is Strange-like experience from Dontnod. That being said, if a stale combat experience wouldn’t distract you from a strong narrative or if you are especially fascinated by the vampire aesthetic and its attached dilemmas, Vampyr might just be worth sinking your teeth into on Nintendo Switch.
